Ep. 65 Faithful Transitions: Navigating Growth, Friendship, Faith and Sobriety in Community Pt. 2

But Jesus Drank Wine & Other Stories That Kept Us Stuck

Join Meade and Christy as they delve into the second part of their conversation centered on the importance of community with the launch of the But Jesus Drink Wine Community, exploring the intersection of faith, personal growth, and community support. From the challenges of outgrowing friendships to the impact of FOMO on social media, they offer insights on living intentionally and embracing change. Learn about the transformative power of Meade’s P.E.A.C.E. method and the importance of drawing near to God while engaging with others in meaningful dialogue. This episode is your guide to navigating life's transitions with grace and authenticity.

Takeaways:

• Creating a community for Jesus-curious/Jesus followers and those on an alcohol-free journey is important for support and connection.

• Outgrowing friendships is a natural part of personal growth and should be celebrated.

• FOMO and comparison on social media can lead to feelings of lack and discontentment.

• It is important to explore other possibilities and challenge the shoulds in order to live with intentionality. Use Meade’s P.E.A.C.E. method (Pause, Exhale, Allow, Consider, Engage) to navigate emotional charges and discomfort.

• Consider other possibilities and don't assume what others think.

• Don't base actions on others' opinions.

• Allow yourself to feel and explore different perspectives.

• Living differently can be a superpower and lead to personal growth.

• Be the first to make a change and inspire others.

• Draw near to God and engage with the community.
